Political Violence has no place in our discourse....

First and foremost, I hope Trump is OK. And we'll find out who did this, and what drove the violence.
We also have a gun problem in this country. Yes, we have gun rights. I own guns myself. But we need to regulate guns much stronger than we do.
Finally, this is why it's not OK to make gay jokes about Paul Pelosi when his skull got fractured by a guy who wanted to commit political violence against Nancy Pelosi. There should never be any jokes about political violence.

I don't see how the sick Pelosi story is even remotely comparable to a political assassination attempt.

is that there were some GOP members of congress & in positions of responsibility in the GOP who were making fun of the attack on Pelosi, which itself was also an attack of political violence.
I don't want anyone in the Democratic party to do the same about this situation.

and they're not laughing about him being shot at either.
When Pelosi was attacked, numerous GOP pols mocked Pelosi. And it was done on this board, too.
Political violence is a serous matter. When people are attacked, we shouldn't be laughing about it.

Dude members of our government and the media have publicly called Trump, Hitler. Who wouldn’t have wanted to kill Hitler? The media and the left drove that fake narrative and convinced some nut job to kill Trump. Shut up and go to bed

No, 9/11 was real, just not the way it was portrayed as happening. I knew it
Jul 13, 2024, 10:36 PM

was a gunshot on the very first replay of the video re T-Rump assassination attempt.
You should watch some 9/11 videos and "believe your lying eyes"... and basic 7th-grade Physics.

Tell yourself and your friends they need to disavow talk of violence. The left has 100x more visible calls for violence than the right.
Madonna - want to blow up the white house.
Kathy Griffith - bloody head of Trump
Maxine Waters (congress person) - calls for leftists to 'get in their face' of Trump supporters
and the list goes on and on.

But to be clear, leftists have (historically speaking) ALWAYS used violence as a political tool. This shouldn't come as a surprise. Millions died in the Marxist revolutions in China and Russia, for example.

When he was Italy's "Il Duce", he was leading from the right, not the left.

Hitler & Mussolini were coming from the right when they launched their genocidal war in 1939.
It's extremists that cause the violence.

The same people claiming to be offended by jokes about Trump's Evander Holyfield impression are the same people who think its funny to call the former First Lady a tranny and make AIDS jokes about Richard Simmons' death. They want to give it, but they can't take it.

And then put a leading political candidate getting shot on stage at a rally where someone was killed in the same breath as a spouse of a politician getting hit by a nut with a hammer.
I’m sure you had to flip a coin about whether to mention Paul Pelosi or the Senate softball game shooter as your “other” example, right? Since you weren’t whatabouting and all. You’re about as deep as a puddle.

When Pelosi was attacked, there were numerous GOP pols making a joke out it and mocking Pelosi's husband. When political violence occurs, we shouldn't be laughing or mocking or wishing ill on the victim.

To address. Yes, Trump got shot because someone joked about Paul Pelosi. I’m so glad you included the danger of inappropriate jokes in that magnum opus of a shitpost you started this with.

It went over your little pea-brained head, and now you're acting like it's not worth addressing.
The right has laughed at political violence when it's done to the left. I hope the opposite doesn't happen, because it's not a laughing matter.

Then when you finally get the point, you pretend it's not true.
The attack on Pelosi, where Paul Pelosi's skull was cracked, was a very serious thing, and there were a bunch of people on the right making a joke out of it.
There's no place for political violence. And there's no place for making fun of it either. There's nothing controversial about that, except with hard right-wingers on this board (like you, pretend "independent")....

There have been “jokes” galore about killing Trump. There were jokes about Paul Pelosi. There were jokes about Steve Scalise. There were jokes about the Challenger astronauts.
Again, enlighten me about where any of this inappropriate humor led to today’s shooting, to the point that your vastly overestimated brain felt it was the most salient thing you could say in a post about Trump getting shot—sorry—“political violence”.
I DGAF about jokes. Jokes are harmless. Jokes are how people cope with the insanity of the world. There will be jokes about what happened today by the left, and you know what, I care a lot less about them than I do the hyperbolic villainization language that riles people to the point where they think they’re doing the world a favor by taking a shot at a Presidential candidate. When people from top to bottom literally call a man Hitler, someone is going to try to kill Hitler, and it’s a lot more dangerous than any effing humor
